>> that's the best answer i've ever had to that question. you can't beat the whole of humanity. mr. president, thank you for your time. >> reporter: god bless you. i wish you success. >> thank you, sir. hello, everyone. i'm don lemon. we want to get you up to speed on the day's headlines. new information about the surprise resignation of david petraeus because of an extramarital affair. a u.s. official tells cnn that petraeus' affair came to light because the fbi looked into a complaint that his biographer was sending harassing e-mails to another woman close to petraeus. we're told petraeus was never the target of the investigation and his communications were never compromised. east coast residents, some of whom have suffered without power for 12 days, waited again today for officials to come through on big promises to end the blackouts. about 280,000 customers still

without power in the region. some places not expected to return until at least tuesday. we finally have a winner in florida. cnn projects president barack obama won the sunshine state and its 29 electoral votes. that's based on updated vote totals provided just before today's deadline. that boosts president obama's electoral vote to a total of 322. mitt romney got 206. 270 needed to win the white house. a huge earthquake has struck myanmar just nine days before president obama is due to visit. the 6.6 magnitude quake was centered about 226 miles north of the capital. if he goes ahead with his visit, mr. obama would be the first sitting president to visit myanmar. we've got a lot more planned for you this saturday night. here's what else we're working on. a shocking admission, shaking the entire intelligence community. it may end a brilliant career. but did it put the country at risk? some say the gop needs some

new faces or face extinction. on the other side, minorities help reelect president obama. has he done right by them? we've got a political intervention for both sides. plus, is bond too old? and it's some of the hottest lingerie in the world. but how is this sexy? thanks again for joining us. mitt romney lost the election but he may have made history. here's why. his loss could go down as the last presidential campaign to bank on the white vote for a win. in a moment, evidence of why that is a losing strategy. let's get quickly to al cardenis and patrick millsap. first to you, al, are whites the new minority here in america, especially when it comes to elections? >> it will be soon. when ronald reagan, our gold standard, won in 1980, it was 87% of the vote.

this year, it was 72% of the vote. it will be 68% of the vote in 2016. and by the 2020s, it will be the minority vote in america. >> i'm going to ask patrick the same question. patrick, what do you think? >> at first, we have an outreach problem. we are banking on vote that is we don't necessarily put in the bank and we are counting the votes that clearly aren't necessarily being there. we have to work on that. >> but my question, do you think whites are the new minority, especially when it comes to politics now? >> i don't want to agree with your premise of this adjective of voting bloc. the interesting numbers is income level, taxable incomes. those are the more interesting numbers, to me. evangelicals. >> so, gentlemen, let's talk about the gop's future here. i want you to consider this. al talked about it just a moment

ago. 1980,reagan beat carter, 56% of the white vote. mitt romney lost with 59% of the vote. here's why. in 1980, whites made up 88% of the electorate. 88% in 1980. tuesday, they made up 72% of voters. so the math simply doesn't work anymore. al, i wouldn't be going out on a limb here to say that the gop has a minority problem. i've heard lots of people say that. does your party have a future in national elections if it can attract more non-white voters? >> well, if it can't, it's not just political malpractice. it will be political suicide. we just need to do a better job. as i tell my friends in both the senate right and the conservative movement, we don't need to change our values. we believe those are winning values. but we need to make a long-term commitment and a real commitment to minority communities. we can't lose the hispanic vote 4 to 1. we can't lose the asian vote 4 to 1.

we can't lose the black vote 9 to 1. you start out with a premise that requires a 60%-plus vote of white america. that's just not going to happen as it declines in population. these are winnable votes. but we just need to pursue them. and frankly, i've been there. i've been chairman of the party in florida when we used to get 60% of the vote from hispanics and a larger percentage from african-americans. but you have to have a game plan. you have to have the dedication and resources. and the commitment to show up, show respect and be there at all times. i think it can be done. but frankly we need to change the scope of our energies and the scope of our commitment. >> so maybe it's a messaging problem, like patrick just said. with the -- is it conservative views or is it the messengers or both? what do you think? >> initially, it's the messengers. we have this tendency of telling people what we're not going to do. we don't tell them why. we say we're the party of lower taxes. but we don't say because we want people not to be able to be

addicted to government but be able to make a living. newt got a big controversy about -- talking about food stamps. one of the things food stamps represents is the lack of freedom. that's the federal government -- people -- they tell you what you can spend with those food stamps. you can or can't buy -- we don't do a positive message of saying, we want you to have more freedom. >> when you talk about food stamp and those sorts of issues, are those issues or messages that you run on that are losing messages? do people really want to talk about that? when you focus on issues like food stamps or entitlements? al and then patrick? >> listen, we live in a different era and one that requires us to do a better job, as patrick said, in messaging. but remember this. i think 80% of americans knew we had fiscal troubles and they knew that we needed to rein in our overspending. but when you asked them about

medicare reform or medicaid reform, 70% said, don't touch it. when you asked about budget cuts, they didn't want to touch it. the majority of americans in this election cycle in particular understood the problem. they didn't want to take the medicine. we need to do a better job in conveying the need for that kind of action. and we need to be, frankly, persuasive. >> when you talk about medicare and medicaid, i was in ohio and i interviewed people from the romney team and from the obama team. and people would talk about entitlements and no one wants to touch medicaid and medicare. that's not just minorities. these were older white women who said, hey, listen, i just got medicare. i just got medicaid. so it's not just a minority issue, al. >> no. i didn't say it was a minority issue. >> it's not just the democrat -- >> i was asked the question about what caused us to lose this year. we had mainstream republicans, conservative republicans, a majority of independents.

and we lost by 20 points or more those who made $50,000 or less in america, including everybody and we won the vote of those who made more than that. and so if we need to do a better job of addressing these challenges in a way that more people want to buy in -- i'm not just referring to minorities, i'm referring to america in general. the problem with minority, frankly is a lack of dedication and resources and time and scheduling to address them. that's the basic problem. >> this is not an attempt by the republicans to do something and failed. this is the lack of the attempt of the republicans to do anything at all. the first state race i ever worked on was the united states senate in 1996. and i asked very naively, why don't we go to black churches? they'll never vote for us. why don't we retreat to students and young people? those people never vote. here we are in 2012, that's a completely different story. and we need to make the attempt.

>> i heard al said president obama won because he promised free things. i don't want to misquote you there. i'm not sure if that's -- promised free things. when i hear people saying that people voted for president obama because they wanted things, why else do you vote for a candidate if you don't want something from that candidate? >> obama won this election. let me back up and calm down. obama won this election because he has learned how to do micropoliticking. we keep spending hundreds of millions of dollars on tv when most people are getting their news from twitter and this other stuff. we are not running a modern campaign. >> you're absolutely right. from being on the ground -- i want to say this before you respond, al. what you say is right on. being on the ground, everyone underestimated the obama ground campaign. the romney people were calling people who say, we need you to support our candidate. the obama people had offices in these communities for years and

they were going out -- i see you haven't voted yet. if you go and vote, we'll find a way for you to get to the polls to go vote. they were talking about g.o. tv and volunteers -- i'm like, what are they talking about? and then it finally came to light, they're getting people to the poll and reaching people personally. al? >> let me say this. president obama received 12 million less vote this is year than he did in 2008. mitt romney got almost 3 million votes less than john mccain did. this election, you could come up with a lot of arguments as to why mitt romney didn't win. i thought he left it all in the playing field. i thought he did as well as he could, given the circumstances. but the truth of the matter is, we couldn't come up with enough votes to win. and if you analyze this election, you can come up with 100 reasons why mitt romney lost. i'm looking towards 2016 and how can we, the gop, continue to be competitive and how can conservatives get their message across.

i'm trying to tell you, to echo what patrick said. the first thing you have to do is show up. we didn't show up in the black community. we didn't show up enough in the hispanic community. we dedicated resources too little too late. and we need a long-term plan that dedicates enough resources to become competitive, knock on the door and do the things that we need to in the community. my comments about what won or lost this election are different than the comments about what's required to win the minority vote in the future. >> 2016, let's talk about that. what does the gop do, then -- do they just go, hey, we've got marco rubio? in four years, what do you do, honestly? >> we started in 2010 by recruiting great candidates for statewide office and they won. marco rubio, we've got two governors, democrats don't. ted cruz just got elected senator. that's a good thing. continue to recruit surrogates. we need to make sure the rnc and

these campaigns are equipped with the right staff that know the hispanic community inside and out. the third thing they need to do is dedicate the resources so that we don't get outspent 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 by the democrats in the hispanic media and in the minority media. >> patrick, it's not just about the candidate or putting a candidate that has an hispanic-sounding last name or a minority on the ticket. you said you not only have that problem but you have -- >> an angry white man problem. and i don't want to discredit marco rubio for just saying that he's an up-and-comer because he's hispanic. he's an up-and-comer because he can look in the camera and express a conservative viewpoint without sounding angry and quite frankly without saying the word "rape." >> right. >> he connects with people. the fact that he is cuban american is a plus. but it's not the primary reason he's such a good candidate. >> what do you mean by an angry white man problem?

>> the gop has the problem of -- we get candidates in line and we'll put them up and say, oh, it's his turn now. and these tend to be, at this point, older white guys. and quite frankly, we need to be looking at the broad spectrum of candidates. right here in georgia, we have a former county commissioner named ashley bell. he's a former democrat, a black republican. he's a good candidate not because he's black but because he can articulate the conservative message without sounding angry, without ticking off all women, without ticking off millennials. >> i heard people saying, women don't care about these issues, people don't care about this issues. and it seems they do because these people turned out, women, minorities in droves for president obama.

>> well -- >> two things i want to mention about that. 80% of the money spent by both sides was spent on negative ads. i think that was the main reason 15 million more people stayed home. and frankly, i thought 30 million more people were going to vote than voted. neither side inspired them with a positive vision as to what tomorrow should be all about for our kids and grandkids. >> yes or no, al, do you think the gop is tone deaf? >> i don't think it needs to be tone deaf. we have every reason in the world to become very representative of the american people. >> gop tone deaf at this point? >> we've got to stop whining and get to work, like monday. >> patrick and al, thanks to both of you. i really appreciate it. >> okay. in a moment, it's going to be time to take the democrats to task. but first, some of those who voted for mitt romney were obviously disappointed. some of it seemed, well, they were more than disappointed if you look at the pictures. why? that's next. you build a reputn by not breaking down.

naturally some people were upset this past week when mitt romney lost the election. but some seemed more than upset. a conservative author wrote this -- at the moment, i am convinced america is doomed beyond all hope of redemption and any talk of the future fills me with dread and horror. a right-leaning radio host said, today was pearl harbor, tomorrow we begin planning for normandy. and comedian and conservative supporter victoria jackson simply tweeted, i can't stop

crying, america died. all right. wendy walsh is here. human behavioral expert, specialist here. wendy, for some, this goes beyond just being angry. america died? what are we hearing here? >> well, i don't want to discount for one minute how real these symptoms are. i was on talk radio the other night and some of the callers were expressing major -- not only emotional distress but even physiological symptoms. vomiting, sleep disturbances, unable to eat. we should not discount that and we can't laugh about it. this is very, very serious. and i call it post-election stress disorder. i think there are a couple of reasons probably. one is with due respect to my colleagues in the more conservative press, i think they

really didn't tell the truth about what was going to happen and the numbers. they wanted to make it seem not even like a close race. they wanted it to seem that mitt would win in a landslide. and many people were shocked to find out he didn't. >> i've watched and usually people -- not saying that they weren't gracious. mitt romney was very gracious. but usually people are very gracious when they lose. and i didn't see that from everyone. but i do have to say mitt romney himself was very gracious. but not all of his supporters were that gracious. and it was surprising to see, i think. >> well, the other piece, don, is actually physiological. we did a story a while back on brain scans of people who have conservative beliefs versus people who have liberal beliefs. and the region of the brain that processes fear was much larger in people with conservative beliefs. so that means they're like more sensitive to fear. and in fact the statistics prove out.

when people who tend to vote conservative have a perception that there is a threat to national security or that that's a big part of the campaign speeches of their candidates, they tend to come out to the polls in bigger numbers. fear is what motivates them. so to have this kind of shocking loss can really stimulate their fear center. before i just say, yes, this is a real problem and it's happening, let's not forget to say there are ways that we can heal and we can help. i wouldn't say -- usually i say venting and letting people talk about it. but that allows people to ruminate. charity, alterism, helping people, get close to your family -- >> what about spending time with a liberal? >> that may be down the road. let's not rush things, don. forcing people to do something out of the ordinary for them is not the thing to do.

i think they need to get stability back in their life, understand that their breakfast didn't change that next day. their workday was pretty much the same. and to understand that this coming of the end of the world that their fear may have vacillated into is not real today and probably won't be real in the in each future. getting back to close relationships and family and love is what's important. >> and trying to figure out why they were so revved up and possibly who revved them up so much to have this sort of -- >> oh, yes. >> -- letdown and feeling. that would be a good place to start the examining of what your feelings are. dr. wendy -- >> but it's real, don. >> but the world keeps spinning. >> thank you. earlier we talked with some members of the gop. we're going to take the democrats to task. is president obama supporting those communities the best he can? that's next.

just a moment ago here on cnn, we had a candid conversation about the republican party, its future and its troubles attracting minority voters. let's turn the tables now. democrats seem to be in great shape when it comes to minority support. but are things really as great as they appear? here she is, maria cardona. let's talk about your party, the president and the voters who elected him. president obama got more than 90% of the black vote. more than 70% of both asian and latinos. and he got 55% of the women vote. he also got a much smaller percentage, 39% of the overall white vote. what does president obama owe to any of these groups? or what should they expect from him? >> i think he owes a lot to this group. and i think he knows that. look, he's talked about trying to really push in the second

term comprehensive immigration reform, which as you know was very disappointing to the latino community in the first four years when he wasn't able to get it done. i was one of those that was disappointed, understanding what he was up against which is why i think in the last couple of months he did the deferred action on the dream act which really helped politically. he also needs to focus on education, both for the latino community and the african-american community, the high school dropout rates are unacceptable. i think that's one of the places where he needs to focus. and of course, unemployment and jobs is always the number one issue for our community. i think that's somewhere where he needs to focus as well. >> when you look at 90% of african-americans, 78% of both asians and latinos, 55% from women, are these groups at risk of being taken for granted with such high percentages? >> well, i think it all depends on what the president does with these groups and for these groups in the next four years.

now, i think that we need to be careful in sparsing what these groups want versus the broader american electorate because it's not all that different. let's remember that for all of these groups, jobs and the economy is still the number one issue. what was so offensive and there was such a dissonance with a lot of these groups and the republican party was the way that they talked about all of these groups. for example, when mitt romney talked about self-deporting for latinos, when the republican party spoke with such disrespect in so many ways towards president obama, the first african-american president, when you had all of these white men talking about illegitimate rape or legitimate rape and talking about what women should do with their bodies, very dissonant to women voters. it's also the way the republicans need to talk to these groups in a very different manner as well as the policies. i think president obama understands that he does owe his

reelection to this strong coalition. so i think that it's a great opportunity for all of these americans, women, minorities, african-americans, latinos, to really hold this administration's feet to the fire and i think that's something that he will welcome. >> i want to say, you mentioned something here. you said how president obama was treated. someone here on twitter said that president obama got minority votes because they saw how the first african-american president was treated. because they saw how he was treated, we didn't expect a direct return on our vote. >> i think that is a sentiment that a lot of minorities feel, even latinos felt a lot of disrespect, felt a lot of offense with the way that a lot of the conservative movement was talking about this president. now, there's a lot of grumbling and we know this in the african-american community as well as the latino community

that this president was not doing what he needed to do in the first term. i think the white house understands that. i think the white house understands that there was a lot of disappointment. but i also think that what the republican party did in talking down to these groups and talking about how these groups would never turn out again the way that they did in 2008 -- >> it energized them. >> exactly. it absolutely energized them, especially the young people. it's kind of like they took that as a challenge. they said, really? you think we're going to turn out? we're going to show you. they passed all the voter id laws and it absolutely backfired. but that's not an excuse for this president. he needs to make sure he gets things done for this coalition. >> i think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying. having been in a swing state and going to a number of different polling places, when i saw who the people were in line and how many of them, young people, minorities, black people, hispanics, asians, women, i said something is going on with this early voting that people did not take into account this time.

and i think that's really what swung the election. >> and the hours that they had to wait in line. and they stayed. >> maria, thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you, don. great to be with you. you've heard by now the cia director has resigned after admitting he cheated on his wife. as details have trickled out, some are worried if state secrets were at risk. we'll talk with a former cia operative next. up. a short word that's a tall order. up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up.

out of nowhere, cia director david petraeus resigns after admitting he cheated on his wife. the other woman? the person who wrote his biography, paula broadwell. and no one may have found out had the fbi not followed up on a complaint about his mistress sending harassing e-mails to another woman close to petraeus. bob, how big of a deal is this for the cia? >> it's big. i've never seen a cia director walk out the door like this confessing to an affair right

before crucial hearings next week. whether he shows up or not, we don't know. what he's going to say now that he's not cia director could be explosive. we have not seen the last chapter in this at all. >> you believe we're missing the real story here. why? >> don, we are. first of all, you have to get clear, the fbi does not investigate affairs, adultery, anything like that. it doesn't do it routinely. it's too busy. something came to their attention. and it wasn't harassing e-mails. you can't go to your local fbi office and say, hey, i'm getting nasty e-mails, will you please look into it? they'll throw you out the door. secondly, in order to get into petraeus' e-mail, the fbi would have needed a warrant. it's called a title 3 warrant or a national security letter. they come out to google. it's a big deal. you need a judge. you need to impanel a grand jury. there must have been an evidence of some sort of a crime.

if these e-mails were actually threatening murder or something, yes, i could see the fbi getting into them. but why the rush in getting petraeus out the door? and another thing, it takes months to get into these e-mail accounts. you've got to pull up the servers and the rest of it. so this has been going on a long time. bob muller, the fbi director, would have known about this right from the beginning. you don't investigate a cabinet member and not intel the fbi director. and the chances of him going -- go ahead. >> what are you saying? are you saying that this would not have come to light if petraeus would not have admitted it himself, that the e-mails would never have been made public? >> no. i think that the fbi tripped across some sort of serious crime or suspicion of a crime or even -- maybe a reporter has the whole story and was going to go public. the thing is, this is all rushed.

and why would petraeus go out in public and admit this? the gentlemanly thing to do is say, i have family problems, i'm leaving. >> but people could dig and want to know why. he may have just been upfront with it and get it over with. the big question, though, really is, and you're saying evidence of a crime. cnn is not reporting. you're saying that. but here's the big question that some people may be wondering without evidence of a crime. as if an outsider had information. >> that's the concern when it starts. when you look into that, in the cia or fbi headquarters or any of the intel agencies, often you have dual computer systems so that you can receive outside e-mails because someone might send a complaint over the public internet service providers.

and then you have the classified e-mail systems internally. and they're completely separate. but the fact that someone's receiving a threat at that level, they have to investigate and look at the nature of the threat and look at the person making the threats and start subpoenaing that person's records to see if they're threatening other officials or if there's more to the story, who they're connected with. during that subsequent part of the investigation, that's where they determine the connection between the other woman and general petraeus. >> bob, do you agree with him? >> he's absolutely right. in the fbi, there's no computer system inside the cia or the fbi that's connected to the internet. they're completely different systems. everybody at the cia knows you cannot put classified information inside public e-mail addresses. it just doesn't happen. the director, the rest of it -- yeah, there's a slight chance that someone could get some inside scoop on the director. but blackmail, come on, no.

this guy's disciplined. he's smart, except for this affair. but he knows what he's doing. so the chances of actually getting into his e-mail and getting secrets are very remote. >> yeah. >> remote to none. >> because he had an affair doesn't mean he's not smart. he was vulnerable in that particular -- >> no, no. people succumb to it. he did. it's a tragedy. he was a great general. it's a tragedy for everybody concerned. i think frankly these things should just be kept quiet and people deal with it quietly. but i'm saying there's something else that we don't know that forced the urgency on this. and i'm very curious to see what it is. >> bob, we have to leave it there. thank you. appreciate it. this past week, we had an historic election and some historic moments in the election coverage. the highlights next.

even after he had lost. people were preparing for a mitt romney win. and so when you're preparing for a win, a loss is that much more of a shock and that much more difficult to assimilate. >> i want to get to this. president obama won with the coalition of americans, women, blacks, latino, gays, young people, middle class and moderates. earlier this week, newt gingrich told us that in order for conservatives like himself to win future elections, the republican party needs to start appealing to groups other than, quote, he says it, white guys. >> outreach has been five white guys call you. it inherently changes the whole tenor of the meeting. this is a big challenge for the house of representatives. they're elected to stay a majority for a long time. the question is, do they want to in a disciplined way create a schedule and a program and include people who are not traditionally republican in order to grow a party that is competitive.

>> and we just happened to have newt gingrich's comment on -- he said that republicans have an angry white man problem. >> they do have that. john kerry in 2004 got only 2% of the white vote than president obama did this last election. the democrats have had a problem with white male voters. but they built a coalition because the minorities built up. but the republicans have to remember f you're running in the primary, there's a thing called google. if you say things about minority, we google it and find it. stand up to the extremist voice or be defined by them. it's your choice. >> ana, you were talking about people who had drunk the kool-aid and how disappointed they were. do you think it is -- the gop and i guess the leaders and people like karl rove, do you think that they are just that

out of touch, that they don't know what's going on in america? >> no. look, we just have to take back the asylum from the inmates. and karl rove really understands the hispanic vote. he was in large part responsible and one of the architects of president bush 43 winning part of the hispanic vote which is why he won the presidency. but i agree. i saw the discussion from your two previous guests. i agree with what both of them were saying. one of them was saying, we need more resources and more long-term outreach. the other said, we need to change messaging. the truth is, we need to do both things. don, we can't be the party that makes immigrants think we want to deport them all, that makes gays think we want to neuter them all and to make women think we don't have a fundamental understanding of our reproductive rights. >> watching the results of the election and being on the ground and listening to people and seeing the people who were in

those lines, i said on television the other day and i think it's so. the grand old party needs to become the gnp, the grand new party in order to appeal and start winning national elections come 2016. thank you guys very much. dean, stick around. dean says grown-ups are taking over the movie theaters again. he's going to explain that. and we have this, too, next -- >> it's some of the hottest lingerie in the world. but how is this sexy? why not use all your vacation days this year? get points you can easily redeem for your vacations, with chase sapphire preferred. it's the cleanest, clearest water. we find the best, sweetest crab for red lobster that we can find.

tinker toys and looking at the body and the beautiful model. >> okay, so let's get to james bond. film number three for daniel craig. you were saying this is more evidence that grown-ups are taking over the theaters again. what about that? >> just a few weeks ago "argo" was the big movie. it made over $100 million already. this weekend "skyfall" this weekend. we would go out and see a movie if it's smart and it's a quality movie. i wish hollywood would not make -- you make the "twilight" movie, i understand. i know you're not going to make merchandising money. but make a quality movie, older people will go out to see it. we want to go out and enjoy a movie.

but it has to be a good movie. it has to be smart. >> we'll take your word for it. thank you, dean. >> thanks, don. >> our moment of the week next. there there's one word that things are beginning to get rolling. and regions is here to help. making it easier with the expertise and service to keep those wheels turning. from business loans to cash management, we want to be your partner moving forward. so switch to regions. and let's get going. together. ñ? tyou wouldn't want your adoctor doing your job, hello... so why are you doing hers?

told us how he felt our pain. in the same week he won a second term, the most striking image of president obama wasn't on stage but in a much quieter setting. his campaign office in chicago. thanking the workers who made his reelection possible. >> but you guys have made sure that the work i'm doing is approved. and i'm really proud of that. i'm really proud of you. and what you have done -- [ cheers and applause ] >> the president went on to say that no matter what he does in the next four years, he expects their own accomplishments to be even greater. this is rare glimpse of a president, unable contain his
